Hilarious (for the neutral, alright neutral- ish). EDIT: The more I think about it, the more I'm coming round to the idea that I'd prefer Man U to knock Barcelona out. Deny them as much revenue as possible, lets see how many more levers they have left. Also we need our coefficient to be high to get that extra Champions League place for the PL when they expand the tournament.

Of course it'd happen now that Messi's no longer there...

Definitely. It's a much derided competition for reasons I don't quite get. It's derided because it forgettable and boring until the knock out stage. On a recent Arsenal podcast they asked how many Europa league group games do you actually remember? I can barely remember any, including some from this season! If the objective was purely to create an interesting football competition it would be pure knock out like the FA Cup from the start. Anyway, it's extra weird this year. Just realised it's four months until our next Europa fixture. FOUR MONTHS! That is true, but also the same for the CL. It's mostly crap.

Why not. We're both dysfunctional basket cases. Good match up.

Shows how far we've both fallen. We contested a semi and two finals in the CL just over a decade ago.

Might as well play Barcelona. It will at least be interesting. No point burning out the players to scrape through against teams from Austria and Denmark, just to lose against the first decent team.

Lucky to not already be behind, but can't help feeling a better striker than Weghorst would have beaten the keeper there.

AWB and malacia are both truly awful footballers

Think we played decent first half. Definitely chances in this.

Can't argue with that for a first half performance away at Barca. We'd have been dead and buried in the entire tie already this time last season.

The change in Rashford has been incredible this year.

Barca in a bit of a mess. Kounde and Alonso CBs not exactly frightening for strikers.

Not sure how that Rashford one isn't a free kick.
Denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity, too.

Yeah, was def a free a likely red. Odd decision.
